		I proofread and corrected my <a href="/en/coursework/PHIL1404/Artificial_value.xhtml">essay</a> for the week and took the graded quiz.
		Later, I worked on my discussion responses:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			Hmm.
			I suppose you have a point in calling Studio 54&apos;s culture libertarian.
			It seems abusive to me that they required their employees to take personality-altering drugs, but like you said, those employees were free to take a different job if they chose to.
			By taking a job with Studio 54, they took on the responsibilities of that job, good or bad.
			I work at a restaurant, and I can&apos;t honestly recommend any product we serve.
			However, by taking that job, I&apos;ve accepted the responsibility to convince our customers that our products are fantastic.
			It&apos;s not ideal, but it is what I agreed to and it&apos;s what I uphold.
		</p>
	</blockquote>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			Ha ha, yeah, I figured that that&apos;s what you&apos;d done.
			I&apos;d recommend just making a second post with the right writeup.
		</p>
	</blockquote>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			Ah, so you&apos;re a fellow <span title="Principles of Business Management">BUS 1101</span> student, huh?
			I took that course last term.
		</p>
		<p>
			I&apos;m not sure what D&apos;Alessio being a woman has to do with ethics.
			I agree though that D&apos;Alessio really didn&apos;t treat their employees with respect though, and that they were used as a means and not an end.
		</p>
		<p>
			I like how you phrased that, about people trying to be efficient socially.
			Putting on a guise is often a good way to do that.
			Both leadership and trying to fit into a group, social aspects are present and need to be dealt with.
		</p>
	</blockquote>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			So you&apos;re saying that the employees were basically just treated as vessels for the drugs to take effect in?
			That&apos;s probably a fair assessment.
			You&apos;re probably right too that drugging the employees was meant to manipulate the customers into bringing their money.
			It was an attractive atmosphere for some I guess, but it was an artificial atmosphere.
